What fraction of the circle is shaded red?
This circle represents one whole.
What fraction is shaded red below?
NUM_1 / DEN_1
To find the numerator, count the red slices.
There is NUM_1
red slice.
There are NUM_1
red slices.
To find the denominator, count the total number of slices in the circle.
To find the denominator, count the total number of slices in a circle.
There are DEN_1
slices in the circle.
There are DEN_1
slices in a circle.
So the answer is \dfrac{\red{NUM_1}}{DEN_1}
.
What fraction of the rectangle is shaded red?
This rectangle represents one whole.
What fraction is shaded red below?
NUM_1 / DEN_1
To find the numerator, count the red blocks.
There is NUM_1
red block.
There are NUM_1
red blocks.
To find the denominator, count the total blocks in the rectangle.
To find the denominator, count the total blocks in a rectangle.
There are DEN_1
blocks in the rectangle.
There are DEN_1
blocks in a rectangle.
So the answer is \dfrac{\red{NUM_1}}{DEN_1}
